PausePoint, a new mental health app focused on mindfulness, aims to help professionals manage their wellbeing by integrating scheduled breaks into their daily routines. The platform offers features designed to prevent burnout and increase productivity.
PausePoint addresses the challenge of maintaining mental balance in busy schedules by allowing users to schedule breaks of five, 10, or 15 minutes, with options to take these breaks once or twice daily from Monday to Friday. The app was inspired by founder Felisa Wiley's observation of the need for structured breaks during a wellness workshop.
The app is available in two versions — PausePoint Basic, which is free and offers bi-weekly breaks, and PausePoint Premium, which includes monthly break planning, weekly well-being tracking, mindfulness challenges, and other advanced features.
